* [:scroll:](hits.pdf) [Hits Algorithm](https://www.cs.cornell.edu/home/kleinber/auth.pdf) - Jon M. Kleinberg
This paper introduces the HITS algorithm, a link analysis algorithm that rates
webpages. Unlike the more famous page rank algorithm, the hits algorithm
makes a distinction between webpage behavior classifies them as hubs and authorities.
A page is authoratitative (in the sense the page has a large number of incoming links)
or acts as a hub (a directory of sort, which can be measured by the number of outgoing
link). The hits algorithm computes two scores for a page (authority and hub score)
where the algorithm iteratively computes the hub score as sum of authority scores of
outgoing links and authority scores as sum of hub scores of incoming links until a
convergence is attained. These scores can then be used to rank documents. While
this algorithm is famous in academia, its not very widely used in the industry
(a variant of this algorithm was used by a company called Teoma which was acquired
by AskJeeves)
